How we can work for you
Our particular skills are kiln-fired painted stained glass and stained glass design:
- We design and make new stained glass windows, doors and skylights.
- We restore stained glass.
- We teach and lecture.
The studio is near Ludlow (Shropshire, UK). There are two of us – David Williams and Stephen Byrne. (Our backgrounds: here.)
New stained glass windows, doors and skylights
New stained glass in any style
We make new stained glass windows and stained glass doors or skylights in any style: traditional or modern, figurative or abstract – whatever is right for you and your chosen building.
- For example we’ve designed and made 24 windows on the north and east face of a castle tower.
- Also 4 lancets for the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Wellington College, Berkshire.
- Before that we designed and painted 16 skylights for a London mansion.
Each project – different.
This work we do for you is one-off (not mass-produced) to suit your wishes and the requirements of your particular building (old or new).
Stained glass restoration
Stained glass restoration in any style
We take on difficult restoration work: for instance, where complicated painting skills are required or where you want perfect forgeries of broken ancient glass.
Clients sometimes send us antique stained glass they’ve bought at auction in Paris or London, sections of which we re-paint or re-furbish as required.
Please see here for stained glass restoration.
Working with other stained glass studios
We work with other stained glass studios – designing, painting or restoration – either in our studio, or we travel to them. For example, David Williams worked with The Reytiens Glass Studio to help paint the Diamond Jubilee stained glass window for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Across the Atlantic, we collaborated with Californian artist, Souther Salazar, for a stained glass installation in a private house.
